Welcome to the Australian College of Druidry web site. The way of the shaman is a path of both personal development and empowerment, equally valid for men as well as women, the young initiate searching for their place in the world and for the more mature who may want to blend what they have learnt with an earth based spirituality.

What we offer:

Although Druidry has its roots in the misty depths of Celtic history, the way of the modern day Druid is a essentially that of Celtic Shaman & Celtic spirituality. The Myth & legend of Celtic spirituality is the inspiration and source material for much of Our traditional fairy stories, the Tolkien - 'Lord Of The Rings' & 'The Hobbit', 'Harry Potter', 'The Mists Of Avalon' & the Arthurian sagas, C.S Lewis's - 'The Witch The Lion & The Wardrobe' and many others.

Modern day Druidry is peopled by Bards both men and woman, the Shaman & Shamanka, the Druidess and Druid, the He-Wizard & She-Wizard. Today much of the attraction of Celtic Druidry is that it is inspired by the wisdom of the ancient Celt who saw men & woman as equally powerful and relevant, and that we 'human kind' needed to work within the web of nature, & had an important roll to play in the welfare and maintenance of Our Earth.

So -What is a Druid?

The Druid is a Celtic Shaman who uses techniques evolved over thousands of years to heal ourselves, to heal others & to heal the land.

Down in the basement, in the darkest corners of the ACOD headquarters lies many documents covered in dust and cobwebs, these are the ACOD archives. They are dutifully watched over by a wise owl librarian. After months of trying we in the ACOD office finally managed to persuade wise owl to release some of these papers which we have presented in the Archives page- ENJOY!
